Still in the introduction, after the second endpoint, it is written: "Below some extremely high temperature". What is the idea of this passage? Written in this way, it seems that the author tries to say the mechanism occurs at low temperatures. So it is not clear what temperature the author refers to. I get the impression that the author meant "Subjected some extremely high temperatures" rather than "Below some extremely high temperatures". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucenalex ( talk • contribs) 12:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

"Below some extremely high temperature, the field causes spontaneous symmetry breaking during interactions."
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of what?

No consensus. See no general agreement and small amount of participation after two weeks and one relist. As is usual with a no-consensus outcome, editors can strengthen their arguments and try again in a few months to garner consensus to rename this article. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! ( nac by page mover) Paine Ellsworth, ed. put'r there 23:05, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

renamed and moved to

Higgs mechanism → Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism – CERN calls it so, and even mentiones it in its writing guidelines. it seems not so fair that the persons explaining it earlier, and more detailed, are not mentioned.

Npettiaux, I have undone your move of this article to Brout–Englert–Higgs–Guralnik–Hagen–Kibble mechanism. Potentially controversial moves must not be done without discussing first. See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial. Note that changing the article name has come up before. Wikipedia articles use the most commonly used name for a topic, which may not be the "official" name. See WP:COMMONNAME. StarryGrandma ( talk) 23:12, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
In various places it is suggested in the article that the Meissner effect in superconductivity is associated with short range interactions. I'm not aware of it ever having been thought of in these terms, but rather that (as per the Londons' equations) there is a surface current layer that screens the field from the interior, just like the skin effect that occurs at high frequencies in ordinary metals. -- Brian Josephson ( talk) 22:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
